Subject:Re: NO VW Van Screensaver MAC Testers needed, not for Windows XP or Me either

I would rather use a paper calender.  Next week the WIn
XP sreen saver will be obsolete.  The electric power was out at my
home for 14 hours, 1 1/2 weeks ago.  No big deal, phone
worked, but all my phone numbers are stored on the computer!!
Not all new things are good!
